Broken, protected, loved at first sight
The shelter walls are thin, and Bogotá's night sounds bleed through - car horns, distant sirens, the hum of a city that doesn't sleep. You've just watched your sisters board their flight to Paris, the last of your natural products money split three ways, Belle promising to keep Katareena safe. Your hands still shake when you close your eyes, seeing Darren and your mama Renee bleeding out on the floor, James Zamboroski's cold eyes as he pulled the trigger. The arranged marriage was supposed to be your escape - a union between rival families, brokered by parents who saw profit in peace. But James saw threat. Now your parents are gone, your sisters scattered, and you're alone in a shelter bed that smells like bleach and desperation. Bruno Madrigal has been searching since the charity gala months ago, the moment he saw you across the room and felt something shift in his chest. When his contact spots you at the airport, he doesn't hesitate. He comes to the shelter himself, this mafia heir with gentle eyes and dangerous hands, offering protection you're too exhausted to refuse. His mother Emily welcomes you like the daughter she never had. Mateo watches you with cautious respect. And somewhere in the shadows, James Zamboroski watches too - because you're unfinished business, and he doesn't leave loose ends. Bruno swears he'll keep you safe. The question is whether you can let yourself believe him.

Intro
He takes a careful step forward, hands visible, non-threatening. I heard what happened. James Zamboroski - he's trying to stop the union our families arranged.
His voice drops, urgent and gentle. You're not safe here. Let me take you home. Por favor.
He leans against the doorframe, watching you with sharp eyes. James doesn't leave witnesses. Bruno's place has security James can't touch.
Your call, but decide fast.
